It was good to see her face again. Although we've managed to see each other about once or twice a month since we've left, we're still not used to spending more than a few days apart from each other.
For Rebecca's birthday, we all dressed up... and then went to the Puppy Store. There is a store in my town that keeps about fifteen puppies at a time and the owners will let you hold them if you ask. Every week or so, Rebecca, Stephanie, and I make trips to the Puppy Store because 1.) they're puppies and thus adorable, and 2.) I miss my puppy Jack from back home.
Ali had never even heard of the Puppy Store, so we took her with us and she got to hold a baby miniature Schnauzer. Rebecca held a Cockapoo. I held a little Yorkie puppy (eek!) and filled my heart with memories of my own Yorkie puppy back at home.
After our trip to the Puppy Store, we went to the nice restaurant of Rebecca's choice and sat down and spent time together, talking and laughing.
Ali had brought Rebecca a cake with her from her city of residence and it was beautiful.
The icing was fluffy and not too sugary, the inside was strawberry (with bits of chilled strawberry in the center), and yes, hte roses on top were actually real.
Is your mouth watering yet?
The cake was lovely and absolutely delicious.
After we ate dinner and Rebecca opened her presents, we all went to go see "The Three Musketeers" (and loved it, by the way).
Overall, the night (and weekend) was a huge success.
We also fulfilled a yearly tradition over the weekend, but I think I'll share that story with you on Thursday...
